Inspirational Message

Since the loss of my father I have become even more sentimental. One of my dearest friends recently forwarded the following statement from Mother Theresa. I felt led to share it with you, my readers. This was written by her and is engraved on the wall of her home for children in Calcutta. -Jane Boucher

Priorities

 By Mother Theresa

  People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered; Forgive them anyway.

  If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; Be kind anyway.

 If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies; Succeed anyway.

 If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; Be honest and frank anyway.

 What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight; Build anyway.

 If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; Be happy anyway.

 The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; Do good anyway.

 Give the world the best you have, and it may never be enough; Give the world the best you have anyway.

  You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; It was never between you and them anyway.
